The Republic of Xorio is a very large, safe nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 465 million Xorioans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Xorioan economy, worth 22.6 trillion Eggs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,625 Eggs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

According to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and children make Xorio drive 'round. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xorio's national animal is the T-rex, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Xorio is ranked 108,996^th in the world and 497^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,843.33 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
